This paper proposes a new non-parametric procedure to estimate age-dependent reference ranges based on Tibshirani's AVAS (additivity and variance stabilization) procedure for non-parametric estimation of transformations for regression. Several examples are given to illustrate the flexibility and applicability of the proposed method; these include alkaline phosphatase in girls, and foot length and head circumference during gestation.
本文提出了一种新的非参数程序，用于基于蒂布希拉尼的AVAS（可加性和方差稳定化）程序来估计年龄相关的参考范围，该程序用于回归变换的非参数估计。给出了几个例子来说明所提出方法的灵活性和适用性；这些例子包括女孩的碱性磷酸酶，以及孕期的足长和头围。
